1982 PE175
Coop:
I have wanted another project for a couple years, but being busy in school I didn't have time. Last night I drug this 1982 PE175 home. Today I reduced it to the frame and baggies of labeled parts. I am going to do as close to an original restore as I can.
I plan to get into the engine tomorrow. My arm gave out by the time I had it basically down to the frame. Some clown welded the shifter on so that's going to be a pain in the butt. Some people shouldn't be allowed to work on motorcycles.
This will be a slow, long term project. I will update with any new pics or progress.

Cool. First order of business, toss the toothpick pegs.
Coop:
LOL yeah they liked skinny pegs back then for some reason.
TMKIWI:
Cool project coop.
Check out my RM rebuild for peg replacement.
Be good to see the old girl back to it's former glory.
Coop:
A found out last night a friend has access to powder coating and all it will cost me is materials. So the frame and any small parts like brake lever are going to get powder. I planned to paint that stuff to keep costs down but not now.
Kiwi your RM post is what really ignited my project bike fire again. I was re-reading it the other week. I haven't done one in 3 years or so. I'm ready.
